The perpetrators of the latest find by Mole Valley District Council - three piles of building rubbish, including glass - have been accused by the council of showing flagrant disregard for the district.

Letters have been passed on to Surrey Police for investigation

Councillor Paul Newman, Mole Valley's executive member for environment, said: “We appeal to anyone who witnesses fly-tipping to report it and help us catch the culprits who cost taxpayers £30,000 on average every year.

“This latest incident, because of its location will require a costly, specialist vehicle to remove it.

“The broken glass is extremely difficult to eradicate and poses danger to humans and wildlife alike. We will be using the personal details recovered to track down and prosecute the criminals who are responsible for this social and environmental crime.”

A spokesman for the council confirmed the letters would be passed to Surrey Police to help establish who may be behind the fly-tipping, adding the council's ultimate aim was to prosecute after releasing a video of the find.
